Friday’s reports that Electronic Arts planned to go private were publicly confirmed Monday morning. Silver Lake, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners will join together to pay an estimated $55 billion for the video game mega-publisher in a deal being described as the “largest all-cash sponsor take-private investment in history.”
Gross - guess I won’t even wait for BF6 reviews to not buy the game.
I have been boycotting EA for over a decade. I can’t boycott any harder.
Well EA is done now. It was already down hill, bad Linux support.
EA is now fully over.
Good suggestion a friend gave me: Go to the Electronic Arts Steam page and mark them as an ignored creator. It won’t block everything EA but can add a banner to EA products that says you’ve added them to your ignore list.
Fuck EA.
I’m not convinced this is worse than being publically traded. Now instead of being beholden to faceless investors who only care about number go up, it’s one specific owner? I mean, considering who it is, it isn’t better. But I struggle to imagine it as worse.
Doesn’t matter, I’ll still either avoid their games or pirate.
Block all updates to the games and launchers you have, just in case. Sims 4 is dead, guys
And for once, nothing will change
Ah fuck I think they have the WRC license nowadays. Welp Dirt rally is still very good.
They do have the license for wrc and I don’t like it.
